About Rhapsody Wine Bar
Welcome to Rhapsody Wine Bar, where the art of Greek hospitality meets the rhythm of fine wine and soulful bites. Nestled in the heart of Bristol’s theatre district, Rhapsody is more than a wine bar—it's an experience composed to elevate your senses.
The word rhapsody speaks of an expressive, free-flowing piece of music, often passionate and improvisational—just like the spontaneous joy of good wine shared among friends. It also draws from the ancient Greek rhapsōidos, a reciter of epic poetry—echoing our roots in storytelling, culture, and deep tradition.
At Rhapsody, we invite you to lose yourself in that spirit:
• In the harmonious notes of rare Greek wines—from the volcanic terroirs of Santorini to the lush mountains of the Peloponnese.
• In the delicate ensemble of cold meze plates, crafted with reverence for tradition and rhythm.
• And in the warmth of a setting that’s perfect for pre-theatre sipping, post-show toasts, or nights when only the right atmosphere will do.
We share a kitchen link with our sister venue, Hat Bistro, allowing us to offer signature hot Greek dishes like Moussaka, Pastitsio, Giouvetsi, and Kleftiko—pairable with the perfect glass, of course.
Join us at Rhapsody, where each visit is its own poetic performance.
